We live in a Block with a communal heating and hot water system.
It has been suggested that residents at their own expense have TVR's

Some have previously replaced their radiators and have TVR's.
To my very simple mind I'm not convinced that it will work.... but I
will soon be corrected. At the moment if I have a valve full on or turn
it down to barely on the radiators stay at the same heat.

It seems to me if the radiator doesn't cool down the valve isn't off.

TRVs should cut down the costs - you won't get people having to open the
windows to control heat.
